## What is Letterseal?

Write a letter to the person you'll become. Seal it in wax. Then let time do the rest.

Letterseal is a time capsule for your words. Write to your future self, choose the day it opens and press the seal. Until that day, all you see is the envelope and a countdown.

NEW IN 3.0
• Real wax seals, envelopes and paper: choose your paper and wax color, and press your initials into the seal (Unlimited)
• Send a sealed letter to someone you love. It opens in their Letterseal only on the date you chose
• Video letters up to 3 minutes and voice letters up to 5 minutes (Unlimited)
• "This year's letter": write it in December or January, open it on New Year's Day a year from now

HOW IT WORKS
1. Write on paper that feels like paper. Add photos, and with Unlimited your voice or a short video.
2. Choose a date: next month, your next birthday, ten years from now. Or let Letterseal hide a surprise date.
3. Seal it. Press the wax, and the letter stays closed until its day.
4. Open it. On the day, break the seal and read what you once hoped, feared and promised.

LETTERS FOR SOMEONE ELSE
Write to your child for their 18th birthday, to a friend for next summer, to your partner for your anniversary. Letterseal sends the sealed letter as a file by AirDrop, Messages or Mail. When they open it in Letterseal, it waits, sealed, until the date. They need Letterseal (free) to open it.

MADE FOR THE WAIT
• 56 writing prompts, including New Year and "for someone" themes
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, including a new large widget
• A Live Activity in the final 8 hours, and a live seconds countdown on the last day
• Reply to your past self, or write ahead to your next self
• Export any opened letter as a keepsake PDF

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No cloud. No ads. No tracking. Your letters stay on your iPhone and the developer collects no data. Lock the app with Face ID and keep an encrypted backup file wherever you like.

FREE, OR UNLIMITED ONCE
Letterseal is free to download. The free version keeps up to 5 sealed letters at a time, with 2 papers, 2 wax colors, up to 2 photos per letter and one surprise date. Letters for someone else (words and photos) are free and don't count toward the 5. "This year's letter" is free too.
Letterseal Unlimited is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. It unlocks unlimited sealed letters, all 6 papers and 8 wax colors plus your initials pressed into the seal, video letters (up to 3 minutes) and voice letters (up to 5 minutes), up to 6 photos per letter and unlimited surprise dates.

AN HONEST NOTE
Letterseal keeps a letter closed until its date. That is the whole ritual. It is a sealed envelope, not a bank vault: please don't use it for passwords or anything that must stay hidden from someone holding your unlocked iPhone. If you truly need to, you can open a letter early, but only on purpose.

### 1.1 — 2026-09-04

Sealed capsules now stay sealed. Tapping one before its day shows the countdown instead of the letter — you can still open it early, but it takes a deliberate tap and the app tells you what you're giving up.

Capsules also open sooner by default: one set today opens in a month rather than a year, with presets from one week up to next New Year.

- New: widgets for the Lock Screen, alongside the Home Screen ones
- New: one privacy switch that keeps capsule names out of widgets, live countdowns and notifications — everything a passer-by can see
- New: Settings, with Restore Purchases, support and privacy in one place
- New: your draft is kept if you leave mid-sentence
- The app now says plainly when notifications are off, instead of promising a reminder it can't deliver
- Capsules are stored in a file written atomically, and nothing is ever overwritten before the new copy exists
- Haptics for sealing and opening
- Fixed: the purchase screen could stay stuck if the App Store didn't answer on first launch — it now retries and offers a retry button
- Fixed: with many capsules, some reminders were silently never scheduled
- Fixed: cancelling while sealing could still create the capsule
- Fixed: editing a capsule could delete the photo attached to it
